This is "better" than the mod, this is a real anamorphic lens.


If it is a real anamorphic lens I assume you will need to digitally stretch the resulting images horizontally. In my admittedly brief skim of your link I saw no mention of it.

Edit: found the same lens on Amazon, read some reviews. Yep, it's the real glass. Images need to be stretched to 'normalize". One reviewer: "Yes you’ll need the moment app to desqueeze the image." (Of course can probably do the same in any image editing app.)


Not quite. This is kind of complimentary to the anamorfake techniques in that it squeezes the image, which the lens mods don't do, but doesn't produce oval bokeh.

I got one on Ali Express for ~30 USD and I think it's pretty much the same as the more expensive ones elsewhere.


If the bokeh was circular before, how can it not be oval after you flatten the image?


Good point, I should have said vertical oval bokeh. Desqueezing will produce slightly horizontal oval bokeh, but the tiny bokeh balls that smartphones are capable of being ~25% wider (not 33% as advertised) is going to make fuckall difference.

The Slowways[0] project is a great resource on UK's walking routes

Is MySQL support on your roadmap?


Potentially, but not for a while at least.

Technically it’s possible to support different backend databases. But we want to focus on getting Postgres right first.


Can you point me to some brand who sell those?


Not that one, it was many years ago and I have moved on from that department since.

But it was also purchased in Sweden, from a Swedish retailer, so not sure what good this would do you.

A quick google gives me Induo [1] who make industrial 3G modems, with serial connection among others.

Same here :) best solution all around. Easy/quick to implement and affordable


I just tried the demo - btw, best UX so far from all that I've tried.

It works fine on the same wifi network, but won't connect if one of the devices is using 4G network - is this because the TURN server is not setup? Is it easy to implement that?


The demo is just a demo. mediasoup is a low level library (no UX into mediasoup). The online demo backend does not have any TURN server. It's obviously recommended to deploy a TURN server.


How can I try this? tks


Sorry for the late reply. Still getting used to the weird design of this site :-)

Couple of options to try: 1) Pledge at our upcoming kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/100-xyz/298281515?ref=5...

2) If you have your own Raspberry Pi, you can participate in our beta (we are getting ready to close it soon). You can download our image, burn it to an SD card and run it. For more info, you can contact me at leisenming AT protonmail DOT com


I tried to see your image, but I get another popup :D https://ibb.co/mO99fo
